Thursday at Cardrona was definitely the pow day of the season but Friday was arguably more fun.
The pow was packed down and you were able to charge much faster on the amazing cold grippy chalk. Temps haven’t risen above freezing in over a week now and it’s working wonders on the conditions.
Wind also moved quite a lot of snow around overnight and the landings were primo. It was a hucktastic day and bombholes were appearing everywhere.

Gate 3 in The Arcadia chutes were going off as were the endless drops in Captain’s Basin.
The secret money spot that we didn’t find until the end of the day was Drift on Valley View... Which we proceeded to do 5 times in a row to close out the day.
